The Infected (A/N the evolved infected the ones that look like they're in business suits) charged the marine. As it approached the marine, he tried to bring his M16 up and take aim knowing that it was hopeless.

He would never get a shot in before it killed him. As it brought its claw up to strike he resolved himself to death.

Suddenly the Infected was gone. Looking around the marine saw it being thrown through a wall by someone.

Getting up he looked at his savior. He was wearing an unzipped camo jacket that went halfway down his thigh and had 2 pockets on either side. On the back was a black Metallica ninja star. His skin was incredibly pale and his hair was covered by a hood. He was wearing green cargo pants. Underneath the jacket he was wearing a tan shirt. As he spun on his heel to punch an Infected he saw that his shoes were like combat boots except they ended right above the heel.

"Hey thanks for the help." The man looked at him with his piercing red eyes that made the soldier shudder. Then he turned back around and continued fighting.

"Huh" he said as he got up and rejoined his squad. He walked over to his commander who was watching the man fight with great interest.

"What's that guy's story?" he asked.

"No one really knows, he just showed up one day, saved our entire squad from a hunter and since then he's always somewhere round here killing infected. "

"Always? Does he even sleep?"

"Judging by all the dead infected, no."

"Where?" The soldier asked not believing it.

"Over there." His commander said as he gestured to something to his left.

The soldier turned and gasped. It was a huge pile of infected. There were normal infected, evolved infected, a surprisingly large amount of hunters, and even a huge brown hunter that had another mouth in the back of its head.

That was more than they had killed since they were stationed here." Sir, surely some of the ones we killed are in there to, right?" he said not believing one man could kill that many infected.

As he watched he saw more being thrown on to it

"No ours are the ones just lying around."He said as the man jumped to the top of the framework

(A/N I couldn't figure out what to call so I call it a framework it's the construction at the enemy of my enemy event

"Well he's pretty strong though." he said as 2 infected came flying down and the man slammed another down from on top of the framework.

"How do we know he's not infected?"

His commander turned around looked him dead in the eyes and said

"We don't."

"Well, uh we should find out because if he is we're screwed."

"Hey you there" he said to the man who had run out of infected for the moment.

The man turned and stared with his seemingly unblinking eyes.

"What's your name" the commander asked gruffly, hoping that this man wasn't easily angered.

"Hydra"

On a nearby building Alex Mercer perched, watching as a smile spread across his face.

"This "hydra" could be the answer to his problems. If he learned the source of his powers he could finally get some answers."
